How to get rid of mold/mildew smell in basement compartment
This spring we discovered that one of the basement compartment doors had a small leak. But it sat this way over the winter. I emptied out the compartment and had the leaky door fixed. But now the compartment - and all the stuff that was in it - smells musty or like mold or mildew (I don't really know the difference between these types of odors).
The compartment is still empty.
What's a good way to get rid of these odors? I've googled, and there are a bunch of ways folks suggest - some seem a bit alarming!
- spay/wipe down the walls with a vinegar solution
- ditto with a chlorine solution (can't that damage stuff? strip paint?)
- charcoal
- OdorXit AQM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spf0VD0FTXs
- ozone generator
... and many others. Kind of dizzying ...
I'd like to know what some more experienced RVers have to say about it.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
